BUDGET

The budget alternatives presented by the pro tem Board were presented for discussion.

The dues language approved in the bylaws indicates that the dues are a minimum donation required to vote at futures Assemblies. PUSOG is authorized to deduct from its donation pool according to its budget. All dues are considered donations, and all donations at or above the level set as dues give the donor the right to vote at Assemblies that year.

The only modification made to the Board’s proposal was the addition of an office supplies allowance to each budget. The Members selected the most expensive budget, which sets the 2009 dues at $100.

As part of the budget approval, 2008 budget and dues are set to one quarter of 2009’s. This makes 2008 dues $25. Members are encouraged to pay these dues, or for this year may ask that a deduction from previous donations be made for PUSOG operations.

FOUNDERS’ DAY: Anastasia Nienow

Brother Nienow requested the Assembly’s input into whether to move the date for Founders’ Day so as not to coincide with Homecoming Weekend. The Members recommended this course of action. Several alumni plan to stage a tailgate party at the Chapter House during Homecoming.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Upcoming events were announced to the Assembly.

CHAPTER ORGANIZATION

Clint Wiegle gave a presentation on the current organization of the active Chapter. All work is now delegated to four committees, each headed by a Vice President.

HONORARY BROTHERHOOD

An open discussion on the merits of honorary brotherhood was held.

Points of information:

The Chapter should notify the home chapter of a Psi Upsilon brother which it wishes to make an honorary brother if its own chapter.

International considers somebody a brother the moment they receive notification of honorary brotherhood.

The Assembly passed a Recommendation to the Brotherhood: Prior to offering honorary brotherhood, have a written process.
